Return Through Magic Chapter 17: Reunited
“Wow, wow, wow. Why are you already here?”“Death God? Why are you flying like that?”Yuki found himself lying in a dark place, with light only illuminating the area around him and the Death God, Shinigami, who now hovered directly above him, staring down at his face with a mysterious gaze.Yuki shivered, feeling both unnerved and annoyed to be facing the being who had made his life a misery in the magical world. Curiosity gnawed at him; the Death God’s face, now so close, was hidden beneath the dark hood of his cloak, leaving only two glowing red dots visible. Those red dots seemed to lock onto Yuki’s gaze, forcing him to feel intimidated in the eerie silence.“How did you end up here? Didn’t I tell you to live long in that place?” The Death God’s bony index finger tapped Yuki’s forehead with a cold, piercing touch.“So, am I dead?” Yuki spoke unconsciously, his mind blank, unsure of how to process the possibility that he might have died a second time, especially since his mission wa
Return Through Magic Chapter 1: The Grim Bargain
"Where am I?" Yuki's voice echoed as he stepped into a place of complete darkness. The only source of light came from the eerie blue glow emanating from his own body and the figure cloaked in black sitting on a throne adorned with skulls."You are at the border of two worlds," the cloaked figure finally spoke, his voice deep and resonant. "I am Shinigami, the God of Death, tasked with escorting your soul to the afterlife.""The God of Death, Shinigami?" Yuki instinctively took a step back, his wariness growing as he processed the introduction.Shinigami remained silent, watching Yuki intently."So... I'm dead?" Yuki's voice trembled as he pieced together his last memories. He recalled the truck that had hit him, leaving his body battered and broken."Possibly, yes. Possibly, no," Shinigami answered calmly."What do you mean?" Gaining a semblance of composure, Yuki dared to question the figure whose face was hidden within the depths of the hood."I brought you here for a reason. I know
Return Through Magic Chapter 2- The Ring of Fate and Death
Boom!From the clear midday sky, a bolt of blue lightning suddenly struck, hitting the barren hillside, where only green grass and wildflowers grew. As the lightning dissipated, a figure clad in full armor emerged, coughing through the billowing smoke.“Damn it! That Shinigami is such a jerk. Couldn’t he have dropped me off more gently?” Yuki grumbled to himself, trying to avoid the lingering smoke around him.“I can hear you!” The voice of the Shinigami echoed from the sky. Yuki’s face turned sour. He hadn’t expected the deity he’d made a pact with to hear his muttering.“Sorry!” Yuki quickly clasped his hands in front of his chest and bowed his head in apology, regretting his hasty words. He even shut his eyes tightly, fearing the Shinigami’s wrath.But after waiting a while, the Shinigami’s voice was no longer heard. Yuki cautiously opened his eyes, only to find nothing had happened.“Phew…” Yuki exhaled a sigh of relief.He then looked around at the not-so-tall hill. The green hil
Return Through Magic Chapter 3: The Path of Destiny
After a while, the man who had been transported to another dimension finally calmed his heart and tried to accept his current fate.Yuki thought about his chance to meet Hana again. Though difficult, he tried to convince himself that everything would be okay."Alright then!" Yuki took a deep breath before getting up from his lying position. He sat comfortably, staring straight ahead, trying to recall his conversation with the Shinigami, hoping to find a clue."Door, seek what is forgotten, find what is hidden, and destroy what stands firm. Then, the other clue…" Yuki muttered, still trying to process everything."Aha!" Yuki snapped his fingers as he remembered something that might help him.With newfound enthusiasm, Yuki stood up and extended his hands forward, mimicking Spiderman's web-shooting pose."Come forth!" he shouted loudly, but nothing happened.This time, Yuki raised his hands above his head. "Come forth!" he yelled again, but still, nothing appeared.Undeterred, Yuki cross
Return Through Magic Chapter 4: Who??
“Where are we going, Master?” Seira looked at Yuki, who was walking but had a confused expression on his face.Truthfully, Yuki himself didn’t know the direction and was confused about where to go. “Wait a moment, Seira.” Yuki decided to choose a direction using a luck formula by counting the petals of a wildflower on the hill. Seira remained silent, not commenting, watching what her new master was doing.“North, south, west, east, north, south, west, east…” Yuki continued plucking the petals of the wildflower in his hand until only the last petal remained. “South! We’re heading south, Seira!” Yuki had made up his mind to go south.“Yes, Master.” Seira obediently followed Yuki’s decision.With determination, Yuki stepped forward. Throughout the journey, Yuki does not encounter a single person; not even an old house or a hut can be seen. Yuki was now truly in a vast expanse of green grass, uninhabited and silent. “Seira! This is a magical world, right?” Yuki asked as they descended the
Return Through Magic Chapter 5: The Deal
“By the way, are you okay?” The blonde girl with pointed ears turned around and extended her hand to help Yuki up.Yuki shook his head, snapping out of the awe he had just experienced. “Hah! Blood!” he screamed, realizing his body and face were covered in it.“Ha-ha-ha, you’re so funny. Stand over there. I’ll help clean you up. I’m a sorceress.” Aira extended her hand.“Ah, I’m just a regular swordsman, a complete beginner.” Yuki hesitantly shook Aira’s hand.“You’re human, right?” Aira smiled sweetly, making Yuki feel a bit awkward.“Yes, I’m human. You’re human too, right?” Yuki found it odd that Aira called him human, even though she also appeared to be human.“Get ready, I’ll clean off the blood from your body. It must smell awful.” Aira chuckled, covering her mouth as she saw Yuki’s expression, who seemed about to vomit.Yuki stood up and followed Aira’s instructions without question, feeling dizzy from the stench of blood on his body.“Spiral Water!” Aira chanted, pointing her r
Return Through Magic CHAPTER 6: Learning Basic Magic
Yuki finally began learning basic magic from Aira as they had agreed. He was eager to learn so he could survive in this strange, magical world.Yuki, Aira, and Seira, who was in the form of a little girl, sat in a circle on the grass."Do you know there are different elements of magic in this world, Yuki?" Aira started the lesson by asking Yuki about his knowledge of magic."I don't know," Yuki replied honestly. He knew nothing about magic because, in his world, magic was just an imaginative creation of artists."Huh? You don't know? Even children know this. Where are you really from?" Aira found it odd. Nevertheless, she decided to help Yuki because they had made an agreement.Yuki grinned sheepishly. He couldn't possibly tell her he was from the modern world, not originally from the magical one."So, what do you want to learn first?" Aira asked, her tone a bit sharp out of frustration.She felt like she had taken on a student who was truly clueless, not realizing Yuki was special."

Chapter 6: Understanding the Elements of Magic"Does this mean I can use magic now? I can use spatial magic, right? Right?" Yuki's excitement was palpable, but it was abruptly interrupted by a flick to her forehead."Ow!" Yuki winced at the sting of Aira's action."Stop acting like a child," Aira grumbled."Sorry," Yuki apologized, adjusting her posture."Alright. You can sense the magic energy within your body now, right? But that doesn't mean you can use magic just yet. First, read the book I gave you. It explains why you can sense the magic energy but can't use it yet." Aira pointed to the book lying beside Yuki."Okay." Yuki obeyed, opening the book to the first page."There are four types of magical elements: fire, water, air, and earth." Yuki read aloud softly.Her forehead creased with concentration. Yuki was now certain that the world she had found herself in was a fantasy realm, much like those she had read about in fantasy novels."Are you confused?" Aira asked with a condes

Chapter 16: Fainting Again
“You lowly human. You will become my feast, and your soul will be offered to him, the ruler of the underworld. Ha-ha-ha.” The terrifying monster laughed in satisfaction. Its mouth, shaped like a goat's snout, revealed its sharp teeth. Blackish-green saliva dripped, emitting a suffocating stench.Anyone who saw this creature would feel a palpable horror. It was a true embodiment of what could only be described as a demon.The horrifying being, born from the greed of the innkeeper’s grandmother, now targeted Yuki as its next meal.Yuki, his eyes filled with rage, glared at the repulsive creature before him. His eyes glowed blue, with flashes of light surrounding his body. Yuki's right hand gripped the sword given to him by the god of death.The wounds covering Yuki's body had vanished without a trace. Just moments ago, he was on the brink of death, drained of energy and blood, with several broken ribs. But now, Yuki was brimming with energy that suddenly filled his body. His immense fur

CHAPTER 15 HOLY SWORD MAGIC AND BLACK MAGIC
"Seiryū no Inazuma... release!" Cornered, Yuki shouted with the last of his voice, channeling all his remaining energy into his sword. The blade glowed brilliantly before unleashing a massive wave of blue lightning.The innkeeper screamed as the lightning struck him, his grip on Yuki loosening. The magical force sent him flying into a distant wall."Bastard!" the innkeeper cursed, coughing up blood. Yuki's attack had undoubtedly shattered some of his bones.The innkeeper looked around as if searching for something.Meanwhile, Yuki collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. His breath came in ragged bursts, his throat throbbing from the innkeeper's brutal chokehold.He glanced towards Aira, who had managed to free the prisoners.After noticing Yuki's gaze, Aira rushed to his side, her hands glowing with healing magic. "Hang on, Yuki. I've got you."Despite his severe injuries, the innkeeper wasn't done. He rose from the debris, his eyes blazing with crazed fury. "You... will... pay!" he

CHAPTER 14 - BLACK MAGIC
“You?!” The village elder and innkeeper were shocked when Yuki and Aira burst into her hideout. “How did you get here?” she asked again, her voice filled with disbelief.No wonder the old woman was surprised by their presence. She had expected Aira and Yuki to be unconscious from the drugged tea they were given.“Let them go!” Yuki demanded, trying to remain respectful despite facing someone older. However, his polite demeanor only seemed to enrage him further.“Pah! A mere child dares to command me?! You should have stayed quietly in your room, waiting for your turn to be sold. Your lives hold no value other than as commodities for the slave market.” The innkeeper spat on the floor, glaring at Yuki with contempt.“Why you…!” Yuki's expression twisted with anger. His grip tightened on the Seiryū no Inazuma in his hand.Aira, standing beside Yuki, was taken aback. She had never seen him so furious before.“Yuki….” Aira called out softly, sensing the intense emotion radiating from her p

Chapter 13 - Rescue Mission
That night, according to their plan, Yuki and Aira slipped out of the inn. They packed their belongings in silence, careful not to make any noise that might draw attention. As the night grew darker, they stepped out of their room, taking care not to alert the innkeeper or anyone else.As they stepped outside, Yuki felt the cold night air brush against his skin. Aira signaled for him to stay quiet and follow her lead. They navigated through dark alleys, staying within the shadows."Why do we have to sneak out like this? Wouldn't it be better to leave during the day?" Yuki whispered."Trust me, it's safer this way. During the day, everyone can see us. Now, at night, we have the advantage of darkness," Aira replied in a low voice.Before completely leaving the inn, Yuki glanced back at the place they had rented. He couldn't believe they weren't allowed to rest longer, especially since his body still ached from their last battle.They continued walking in silence until they heard suspicio

Chapter 12: Suspicion and Plan
“What do you mean by dangerous, Aira?” Yuki stopped eating and looked at Aira, who was staring out the window with a cold expression.“This village is dangerous,” Aira replied with the same cold expression.“Please explain more, Aira. I just woke up from being unconscious,” Yuki protested. He was not ready to leave immediately after just waking up from a two-day unconscious state.“You know, Yuki. You’re an illegal monster hunter,” Aira stared sharply at Yuki.“Illegal? What do you mean by that?” Yuki asked, confused.“It’s because you haven’t officially joined the adventurer’s guild, yet you’re taking on monster-slaying missions. That’s considered illegal. Accepting a mission to kill a monster without being officially registered with the adventurer’s guild is a crime. Not only that, but you also don’t even know what magic you possess,” Aira, who had been looking out the window, now turned to face Yuki, who was taken aback."I was just helping the villagers because they said they wer

Chapter 11: The Suspicious Innkeeper
"Argh!" Yuki groaned, feeling every part of his body aching. His head throbbed, and it was the first time he had experienced such intense pain all over. He tried to remember what had happened before everything went dark."You're awake?" Aira's voice sounded, making Yuki turn his head to the side. Aira was sitting on a chair right next to his bed, her eyes filled with a mixture of concern and anger."Where am I?" Yuki asked weakly, trying to endure the pain without complaining too much."At an inn," Aira replied curtly. "I didn't know you were that reckless. You should know that a body not accustomed to using magic or forcing itself to use magic it can't handle will suffer severe consequences. The power generated is immense, but so are the effects. It can even lead to death with a shattered body." Aira started lecturing him the moment Yuki opened his eyes.Yuki, weak and in pain, couldn't escape Aira's scolding. In this situation, Yuki thought Aira was very similar to Hana when she was

Chapter 10: Battle with the Giant Rabbit
"Grow!"The once cute and small rabbit had transformed into a giant, fearsome monster, letting out a roar that echoed through the entire forest. The wind generated by its roar was much stronger than when it was still the size of a normal rabbit."Ukh!" Yuki drove his sword into the ground, using it as an anchor to prevent himself from being blown away. His ears ached from the deafening roar of the monstrous rabbit."Damn it!" Yuki cursed, regretting underestimating the monster he was hunting.The giant rabbit had white fur that now looked dull and ragged. Its body, which was once small and adorable, had grown into a terrifying figure. Standing at a height of one and a half meters, its sharp fangs protruded from its mouth. The claws on its feet were now made of gleaming metal under the moonlight. The eyes, once innocent and gentle, had turned into glowing red orbs filled with hatred and the intent to kill.Yuki took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He knew he had to focus and thi

Chapter 9: Aira's Secret
After a long journey, Yuki, Aira, and Seira finally arrived at the inn. They disembarked from the freight cart with tired but relieved faces."Um, Aira. Are we staying here?" Yuki asked hesitantly."Of course, Yuki. It's already dark, and it's too dangerous to continue traveling now," Aira replied, puzzled by Yuki's question."But, Aira... it's like this..." Yuki looked unsure. He scratched the back of his head and seemed nervous."What? Speak clearly.""Well, it's like this. Sorry, just a moment." Yuki leaned closer to Aira's ear, his tall frame bending down to match Aira's shorter height.Yuki whispered, and Aira burst out laughing."Hahaha. It's fine. I'll cover it this time. Don't worry. Hahaha." Aira laughed, patting Yuki's arm.It turned out Yuki had confessed he had no money. He told Aira his money pouch had fallen somewhere. Of course, he couldn't mention that the death god who threw him into this magical world hadn't given him any money to survive.Yuki felt embarrassed, but
